Mercury doesn't handle panel/taskbar correctly

Open luketeam5 opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Hello,

I noticed a small issue with Mercury on Linux Mint. When I pin it to the panel and then close and reopen the browser, it opens as a new window rather than within the existing icon. Here's a screenshot for reference: image

I also captured a video of this issue when I pin the browser and then open it: https://github.com/Alex313031/Mercury/assets/40070133/aadc5770-ff0c-4859-bfbc-b232762755ea

I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong, as Mercury works without any problems on my Windows laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

@luketeam5 Can you edit (with sudo permissions) /usr/share/applications/mercury-browser.desktop, and change the line StartupWMClass=mercury to StartupWMClass=mercury-browser and see if that fixes it?

Thanks for your response,

sadly that does not fix the issue even after a full restart & reinstall. image

Here is some additional debug information:

  • Version: 123.0.1 (64-bit)
  • OS: Linuxmint 21.3 virginia
  • Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.5.0-21-generic
  • Shell: bash 5.1.16
  • DE: GNOME

Hello @Alex313031!

I wanted to let you know that I found the issue - it was indeed related to the WMClass as you thought. It should have been named mercury-default instead of mercury (default) or mercury-browser (which you suggested).

To locate the correct WMClass, I ran GNOME terminal using Alt+F2 and entered the command lg to view active windows. image Then, I switched to the Windows tab to find the correct WMClass. image

After adding this correction to the desktop file (/usr/share/applications/mercury-browser.desktop) and restarting Mercury, it opened properly. image

I won't close this issue yet, as it still seems like a bug that needs to be addressed. I hope the steps I provided will be helpful in resolving the issue. Thank you!

@luketeam5 what do you install to use lg?

Nothing, LookingGlass is a part of the GNOME desktop environment. You can check the wiki for yourself here (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/LookingGlass).
